Beaches in Castries & Marigot Bay
La Toc Beach
Not consistently calm for swimmers, but brilliant for sunbathing to the sound of the surf and beach walks on sugary golden sand, backed by hills and greenery. Stick around for the sunset if you can – especially if you’re staying in the nearby Sandals Regency La Toc.
Marigot Beach
You can reach the famously beautiful Marigot Bay by ferry or kayak. Spread your towel out under a palm tree, or hire a sun lounger and enjoy this secluded and stunning spot where Doctor Doolittle was filmed in 1967. The Great Pink Sea Snail hasn’t been spotted for a while, but watching boats come in and out of the harbour is still a treat.
Anse Cochon
The Caribbean’s not all textbook white sand beaches… In certain parts, it’s even more special. The black volcanic sand here is sometimes rippled with white sand to create a silvery spectacle - all backed by jungle for an exotic feel. Snorkel from the beach around a colourful offshore reef or just sit back and enjoy a beach like no other. One of the only hotels here is Ti Kaye Resort & Spa.
Grande Anse Beach
Escape to the Atlantic east coast for a quieter time on the oceanfront, where Grand Anse mixes bright golden sand with deep turquoise sea and wind whipped palms. You’ll probably have the whole beach to yourself. Well, you might have to share with a few turtles…
